With the publication of this translation of \u003ci\u003eNeofinalism, \u003c\/i\u003e considered by many to be Ruyer's magnum opus, English-language readers can see at last how this seminal mind allied philosophy with science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnfazed by the idea of philosophy ending where science began, Ruyer elaborated a singular, nearly unclassifiable metaphysics and reactivated philosophy's capacity to reflect on its canonical questions: What exists? How are we to account for life? What is the status of subjectivity? And how is freedom possible? Ha \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNeofinalism\u003c\/i\u003e offers a systematic and lucidly argued treatise that deploys the innovative concepts of self-survey, form, and absolute surface to shape a theory of the virtual and the transspatial. It also makes a compelling plea for a renewed appreciation of the creative activity that organizes spatiotemporal structures and makes possible the emergence of real beings in a dynamic universe. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alyosha Ruyer,Raymond Ruyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081669205X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816692057\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Alyosha Ruyer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086951657727,"sku":"9780816692057","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_40425a40-a52d-4168-a4a9-061acd469f11.jpg?v=1769097440","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/neofinalism-alyosha-ruyer-9780816692057","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
